The grapes are also from the garden... the first year we have enjoyed any grapes! Did you know California is the world's fourth largest grape producer? Well, wine grapes, that is. These ones are table grapes!

Growing grapes is not easy - you have to spray for flies and mold. And then you have to fight the birds!

You may have noticed the grapes and bread are served on antique purple transfer ware.

Now, instead of a baguette we have slices of San Francisco Sourdough - this is California, after all. That's why I like to sometimes call my style California French Farmhouse!

I used vintage ribbons as napkin rings.

Can I confess though, that this table was not set for a party! It was set for my family.

I would have set for just four of us but then the table looks silly when it is only set halfway!

Do you ever set the table "just" for your family?

Why should we set tables for parties? They should be set every day, if I had it my way.

I also love these scalloped plates I got at Williams Sonoma earlier this year!!

I hope you all enjoyed this farmhouse table.

This is just my ideal style - a touch of France, a touch of farmhouse, and a touch of California!

Angelina,I love your calif. french farmhouse table.........so casaul yet so elegant. Beautiful purple glassesand I love love love your beautiful plates. I could not agree more with you about setting a prettytable for your family......my kids are all grown now, but I always set the table when they werechildren, and made it especially pretty for special ocassions......... and still do to this day when they come over for dinner or special ocassions.....who better to set a lovely table for than your own family........as they are the most special and precious people in our lives. Thanks for sharing your lavendar table.....so neat that you grow your own lavendar and grapes. The grapes and sourdough bread look yummy........Have a lovely week....Blessings,Nellie

Your Cali French table is stunning. I would set that table every day too! I bought several lavender plants this year and they are all doing wonderful, I need to go clip a few sprigs and do my table now. Thanks for the inspiration! If you have time, I co-host a link party every sunday and I know people would love to see your beautiful table. Join us if you have a minute! www.rustic-refined.com
